Exciting news from Spectres, the noise rocking foursome will team up with Sonic Cathedral to release their debut LP next year! The first song ‘Sea Of Trees’ has arrived with visuals by Sophie Hoyle. It lulls you into a nice melodic space, then drenches you in experimental noise. The Bristol band are never shy to push the boundaries, making sport of rough edges and invasive distortion! Having jumped on the Spectres bandwagon with 2013’s ‘Hunger‘ EP, I’ve got no doubt the LP will be an engaging and challenging listen.

The Virgance is streaming another collection of experimental shoegaze tunes called ‘Hiko Shrine’, perfect for fans of noisy instrumental music! It’s the work of English solo recording artist Nathan Smith (formerly of the band Ripley & ambient trio Loveless). Nathan released his debut LP ‘Lost Continent’ earlier this year (download). Take a listen to the ‘Hiko Shrine’ album opener below or hit up Soundcloud for more.

Who’s Nano Kino!? A lo-fi dream pop duo hailing from Northern England, that’s who! It’s a collaboration between singer Sarah Suri and Duncan Lloyd (of Decade In Exile / Maximo Park). They’re currently at work on their debut full length, influenced by Cocteau Twins, Women and Life Without Buildings. ‘Eyes Before Words’ is our first listen, the LP is expected early 2015.
